[/ QUOTE ]You are comparing Apples to Oranges. Charleys Car is at the top of the Pecking order. Hands down. A true 1 of 1 Car Driven By Shelby at a High Rate of Speed for many Hours testing Good year tires. The other "Invoices" SAAC has about 2 other cars....I have never seen them or heard of anyone who has. Your Made in 1967 "GT500" is a very Desirable Car. It has The wrong Color and the wrong Engine. Does that hurt it?? 10 years ago, Hell Yeah! at this point, the Car game is Playing by a new set of Rules. It would only eliminate a Minority group of Buyers. Now these Eleanor Specials are SHELBY Products. NOT FAKES. Lets not confuse the issue. Shelby VINS and in the Registry. They are a SHELBY Product none the less. Yours is from the 60's. These are from the Movies...I mean the new Millenium! They will probably be among the last SHELBY Products ever made. so let me go back a Minute here. 10 Years ago, your Car lost Points due to Color and Non Correct Engine. Today it does not Matter. Fast forward to the year 2015. Shelby will most likely have passed on by then. Thus Making ANY OF HIS PRODUCTS that much more desirable since they cannot be made anymore. Right? a small minority will always be kicking and spitting at the ground saying "They ain't The Real Thing". Meanwhile some Rich Guy who was 14 years old in 2005 and read about how the Eleanor Cars Kick Butt on the Originals and makes it his life Goal to get one, Falls into Mad Cash somehow and will be right there buying that Used, But ORIGINAL Eleanor for even Crazier Money! Why?? Because like every other Car nut, we all want what we wanted when we were too young or just could not Afford it until the time came that you could, So you did! Now imagine this. Don Yenko still alive, taking those Brand new 69 Camaro Bodies and remaking YENKO Camaro's. would there be an uproar?? I imagine. But there would be a Bigger uproar about who is Butting in line to buy the next available Car!!
